Harry K. Thaw. The offer, he said,
was made during the latter part of
1912 by a lawyer whose name u
could not remember, iu an "uptown
hotel" in New York City, and was
refused.
This testimony was the develop-
ment of an investigation of reports
that William F. Clarke, secretary
of the committee, recently had re-
quested Dr. ltuasell to release Thaw
on the ground that such action was
desired by Governor Sulzer The
governor himself had stated pre-
viously that he had authorised no
one to make such a request.
Dr. James V. May, chairman of
the state hospital commission, an-
other witness, told of having been
approached by Clark several day
ago with the same request. Dr. May
suid he told Governor Sulzer ol
the incident and the governoi said
he would not interfere in the Thaw
case anO had not authorized auy
body to say he would.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. -- A
though the tension over the Alex,
cun situation has beyn sensibl)
leluxed, the attitude of the ad-
ministration remains one of grea*
circumspection and caution. 0111-
cials realize that any outward ex
iiibitlous at this state either of con
lidenee lor the fallen Madero region
or satisfaction in the accession u
power of the now military part,
might be quickly resented by tin
Mexican people and do much U
prejudice the status of Amerlcaus I.
Mexico.
For the present, the attitude o
tile State Department will be one ol
keen observation and non-iuter
ference.
Steps of graver importance reman
io be taken in the .Mexican capita
before the Diaz revolution can b
accepted as fully successful. Am-
bassador Wilson and the other di
ploiuats immediately will recognizi
General lluerta as the de facto
leader of the temporary govern-
ment. This must be done so for-
eign representatives may properl}
look after the interests of their own
people. Hut what will follow that
lotion must be determined by tm
developments of the immediat.
future, for there must, be sub-
stantial evidence of the permanence
of the new government and l'.t
ibility to bring peace out oi thi
iuios which has prevailed in Mexic.
briore political recognition may bt
extended.
in a way the situation in Mexlt.,
now approaches that in China,
where the State Department ha>
withheld formal recognition ol thi
new republic until the provislona
overnment has been replaced by .
permanent constitutional govern-
ment. Events are moving so rap-
idly in the Mexican capital, how
ever, that It is expected such
recognition soon can be extended.
Two factors that'must be take'i
into account are the probable couise
of the Orozco-Salazar revolutionists
in the north and the Zapata ir.
hellion in the south of Mexico, foi
if the leaders of those movements,
^s threatened, hold out against ti.1
new Huerta regime, another peicd
of disorder and suspense is ex
pected, which might affect the al-
titude of the United States towaid
the new government.
LONDON, Feb. 21.—Tho story of
u three days battle at Uu'air lo
which 3,500 men ou each slue w ie
.eported killed or wounded, con-
tained in a dispatch receivud nere
yesterday, is now believed to be a
revival of au old report of fighting
in the distlct. Rumors that liuvi .■
liey had landed a large foiC3 at
Rodosto were current on Februit./
1 ti, but since Irive been denied.
An uncenaored Constantinople ais-
putch says that Shei'ket Paslta vUit-
ed the Bulalr lines Wednesday hue
was giveu no Indication that a new
battle had been fought.
The 'jituation at Adrianople ri-
mains unchanged. The Poiie hav
ing refused to permit foreigners io
leave Adrianople, the governor oi
the fortress has offered to set ipu't
the Karagatch quarter on tUo i S u
bank of the Maritza river as a
sanctuary for tho 1,400 foreign
residents. It is doubtful, however
if liulgaria will consent to this.
The Servians have brought out
heavy artillery to assist the Monte-
negrins in a renewed attack oa
Scutari. M. Popovitch, the Monte-
negrin delegates to London, viBiiod
the foreign office yesterday and in-
formed the British government thft
under no circumstances cou>d
Montenegro acquiese in any train,
action under which she would bo
required to abandon her claim to
Ccutari. He added that Monteu'-
gro would take the town soon, ^ad
after the sacrifices made, woui.l
.suffer annihilation rather then gl'.o
it up.

It's easy to bo a success, a;:
thousands of winners confess; no

success, though renown doesn t

he owes not a red in the dod-gasted

LONDON, Feb. 21.—The Timoa
believes that European mediation
between Turkey and the Balkan al-
'ics Is likely to accomplish or fol-
low mediation between Bulgani

beligerent? and the failure ef either
dde to obtain any effective military

n the opinion of the Times, that
'iie beligenents will welcome Euro-
'K'nn intervention, especially as the
.evere weather Is unfavorable fo
fighting.

Tafts placed the order which it is
said is for a diamond necklace cost-

worn this winter at many state
